P0088/0049_0010, in the Paul Cuadros Photographic Collection (P0088), North Carolina Collection Photographic
Archives, The Wilson Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Paul Cuadros was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., the third son of parents who immigrated
from Peru. He attended the University of Michigan and Northwestern University's Medill
School of Journalism and focused his career in journalism on writing and reporting
on issues of race and poverty. In 1999, he was awarded an Alicia Patterson Foundation
Fellowship to write and report on the impact of emerging Latino communities on the
rural South. This resulted in the book
A Home on the Field: How One Championship Team Inspires Hope for the Revival of Small
Town America
(2006). The Paul Cuadros Photographic Collection is primarily composed of images related to
the Latino immigrant community in central North Carolina, particularly in Siler City.
They were taken when Cuadros was living there researching the Latino migration to
the American South. The subjects of the images include the living conditions of immigrants;
poultry and agricultural workers, including injured poultry workers; social and community
events such as quinceaneras and festivals; religious events, including a passion play;
children in school, including a contentious meeting of the Siler City School Board
in September 1999; and anti-immigration rallies, including one led by David Duke in
February 2000 and the response to that rally. Also included are a few images from
North Carolina locations outside Siler City and a few from outside North Carolina.

Paul Cuadros (Paul F.) was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., the third son of parents who
immigrated from Peru. His father, Alberto Cuadros, came to the United States in 1960
and began working as an animal care technician, later sending for his wife and two
older sons. Paul Cuadros attended the University of Michigan, followed by a master's
degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. He focused his
career in journalism on writing and reporting on issues of race and poverty.

Cuadros worked for the investigative journal
The Chicago Reporter for five years, writing on issues such as health care, immigration, housing, and
crime. He then moved to Washington, D.C., and worked for the Center for Public Integrity,
serving as a writer and researcher on two book projects and several reports. He was
the recipient of the Inland Press Association Award sponsored by the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, the Pew Charitable Trust Award for health care reporting, and the
National Association of Hispanic Journalists' award for online reporting.

In 1999, he was awarded an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship to write and report
on the impact of emerging Latino communities on the rural south. After receiving this
grant, he moved to Siler City, N.C., and began research into the Latino immigrant
community working in poultry factories in North Carolina. This work has resulted in
the book
A Home on the Field: How One Championship Team Inspires Hope for the Revival of Small
Town America
.

As of 2011, Cuadros is an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill's School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a freelance writer
for
Time Magazine.

The Paul Cuadros Photographic Collection is primarily composed of images related to
the Latino immigrant community in central North Carolina, particularly in Siler City.
They were taken when Cuadros was living there researching the Latino migration to
the American South. The subjects of the images include the living conditions of immigrants;
poultry and agricultural workers, including injured poultry workers; social and community
events such as quinceaneras and festivals; religious events, including a passion play;
children in school, including a contentious meeting of the Siler City School Board
in September 1999; and anti-immigration rallies, including one led by David Duke in
February 2000 and the response to that rally. Also included are a few images from
North Carolina locations outside Siler City and a few from outside North Carolina.

The images in this collection do not directly depict the subjects of Cuadros' book,
although images of some events recounted in the book, such as the David Duke rally,
are included here.

Most of the rolls of film in this collection were assigned an roll number by Cuadros,
which are included below. Numbers that begin with the letters APF indicate that these
rolls are related to the Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship, while the letters
PFC refer to Paul F. Cuadros.

The images in this series are located in Siler City, N.C., and are primarily related
to the Latino community there during the period from 1999 to 2001. Each roll of film
may have images relating to more than one subseries, but have been placed according
to what the majority of images appear to depict. Descriptions in quotes were provided
by the creator.

The images in this series were taken in North Carolina locations other than Siler
City. These images are primarily related to the Latino immigrant community in central
North Carolina and to the poultry industry.
